TEST CHALLENGE: REDUCING SIZE OF TEST SYSTEMS
More Test in Less Space:
Driving Down the Size of Test
The modular solution: Get more
into your test system—and get
more out of it
Many system developers have implemented multi-function testers within a single
PXI chassis. As the chassis fills up, fewer
slots are available to incorporate VNA
capability. A one-slot PXI vector network
analyzer (VNA) is ideal for this situation.
On the production line or in a wafer fab,
there is a growing need to test multiple
devices or multiple wafer sites at a single
test station. Examples include mobile
handsets, military radios and increasingly
dense silicon wafers. In such situations,
one of the key needs is to reduce the
overall size of the test solution. The ability
to install multiple 2-port PXI VNAs in a
single chassis provides a tremendous
space reduction when compared to using
multiple benchtop analyzers on the production line or alongside a probing station
(Figure 1).
As silicon wafers, wireless devices and
military systems have increased in
complexity, multi-port vector network
analysis with S-parameters has become
an indispensable tool. A few years ago,
vector network analysis with 4-port
capability was a common need. A variety
of next-generation products then entered
the market, requiring 8-port measurements, and some manufacturers responded. The trend continued with the following
generation requiring 16-port capability,
and 32-port requirements in the near
future.
These long-term trends highlight three
specific needs:
–– The need to test highly complex devices in much less time without sacrificing
accuracy
–– The need to test multiple devices—and
test in greater numbers—at a single
test station
–– The need to reduce the size of the test
stations used to test multiple wafer
sites or complex devices
As devices become increasingly complex,
the need to easily characterize a full set of
S-parameters on a large number of ports
continues to increase, with 8, 16, or more
ports. Examples include RF front-end modules (FEMs), multiple-input/multiple-output
(MIMO) antennas, smart antennas and
phased-array transceiver modules. Total
characterization of an FEM used in mobile
handsets requires S-parameter measure-
A three-part test challenge:
Reducing the size of VNA test
systems while increasing
capacity and capability
Along with this trend, many organizations
are seeking to drive down the size of test
with more capability per cubic inch in
their test stations. This is a subset of the
larger need to drive down the cost of test
to help ensure ongoing profitability as
prices erode in wireless communications
or as business models change in aerospace and defense.

ment on 10 or more ports. In addition,
full N-port correction is needed to ensure
accurate results.
Engineers designing MIMO antennas need
to investigate antenna mutual coupling,
which can affect system performance.
They can do this through channel measurements, and this entails simultaneous
S21 measurements for all combinations of
transmit and receive antennas. Here, too,
full N-port correction is needed to ensure
accuracy.
Whether the focus is on multi-site testing
or characterization of multi-port devices,
the configuration should be easy to change
through software instantiations of “N-port”
VNA instruments within a single chassis.
For example, a single chassis containing
eight 2-port VNAs could be configured as
four 4-port VNAs, two 8-port VNAs, one
16-port VNA, or a myriad of other combinations.
A true multiport VNA solution is a superior
alternative to VNA multiport measurement
solutions requiring external switching and
additional couplers, offering higher test
throughput, a smaller footprint and more.
Keysight offers two true multiport PXI
VNAs: M937xA and M9485A. Both have independent sources and each test port has
independent reference and test receivers.
The true multiport solution eliminates the
loss associated with switches, and provides
simultaneous data capture with multiple
receivers. There is no attenuation between
the DUT and measurement receivers
resulting in measurements that are both
highly accurate and stable. True multiport
measurement sweep time, as well as the
number of sweeps required for devices, is
drastically improved compared to a switch
matrix-based solution.
Ultimate VNA flexibility
Keysight’s M937xA 1-slot PXI VNAs
(Figure 2) offer remarkable speed, trace
noise, stability and dynamic range. Six
models are available, spanning from
300 kHz to 26.5 GHz. The M9485A multiport VNA solution (Figure 3) provides up
to 9 GHz with faster measurement speed
and wide dynamic range for high-volume
manufacturing applications. Flexible and
reconfigurable, the M9485A goes from
4-port to 24-ports to easily meet changing
test needs.
Keysight’s legacy of measurement science
is reflected in the instrument’s hardware
design, software algorithms and automated calibration procedures. Our worldwide
network of service locations use consistent
procedures to ensure your instruments
operate to warranted specifications so you
maintain ongoing measurement accuracy. For more information, see page 27.
The advantages of VNA true
multiport capability
Multiport devices, requiring more than 4
ports, have historically been tested using a
series of 2-port measurements combined
with signal routing switches. These switching test sets or simple switch trees use VNA
measurements with an RF switching matrix
to route the VNA ports to the various port
pairs of the DUT. The switch tree multiport
solution uses a 2-port measurement for
each path from the common port. So a
2-port VNA with one common port and
one switch port can make all the required
measurements.
Figure 2. This versatile multi-port configuration uses eight 2-port PXI VNAs in a single chassis.
Since modern devices now include multiple
functions with increased complexity they
require more thorough multiport characterization of the devices, including more
ports and measurements from each port to
every other port where the response of any
path depends upon the loading or match
applied to every other port. Full cross-bar
configurations can be used but may be
challenging - as every port that is not connected to the VNA needs to be terminated
by a switch load.

The M9186A 2-slot, PXI V/I source module enables the sourcing of a voltage or current to perform measurements on the resultant current or voltage through another
module. It consists of two separate amplifiers — one low voltage and one high-voltage
— that share a common output connection. Both amplifiers can sense the amount of
current flowing while forcing a constant voltage.
A unique safety interlock feature automatically disables the high-voltage amplifier
and opens all relays when the interlock circuit is broken, providing protection to the
DUT during the presence of high voltages.

7 TIPS 1
for PXI & AXIe
test solutions
2
Select a PXI chassis with a large number of hybrid slots to support both PXI-1 hybrid and PXIe-style modules. PXIe provides
improved throughput, point-to-point messaging, triggering and
synchronization.
Minimize your
system downtime.
Select a test platform that has longer duration
standard and optional warranty and calibration
plans, low failure rates, and flexible delivery
choices providing you fast turnaround times
when your equipment needs calibration or repair.
This will help you minimize the disruption to
your design or production schedules in times of
unplanned equipment
maintenance.
www.keysight.com/find/modular
Reuse your chassis. 3
You never know
when you’ll need a
7th harmonic.
Select a flexible test platform that easily
incorporates different instruments for specific tests,
such as searching for harmonics or spurs generated
by the device which can affect the quality of the
output signal. Out-of-band signals can cause
network interference and FCC compliance issues.
So, it’s helpful to have the flexibility to include signal
analyzers with higher frequency ranges earlier in
the design phase to measure out-of-band spurs and
harmonics. If, for example, the device supports LTE
bands 40/41, you may want a signal analyzer that
that can measure the 3rd harmonic up to 8.1 GHz, or
even the 7th harmonic up to 19 GHz.
PXI and AXIe Products and Solutions Catalog | June 2016 | 23
4
Write code once,
use it twice.
Share comparable measurement methods,
algorithms and results with others in your
organization using benchtop and PXI test
instruments through common application
measurement software. This guarantees
consistent, reliable test-result validation –
from R&D to manufacturing.
5
Make measurements
you can stand behind. Electronic test equipment drifts over time and requires
periodic performance verification and adjustments to
continue to meet warranted specifications. The actual
instrument accuracy you depend on is only as good as
the measurement uncertainty of your last calibration.
To avoid false pass/fail of your products, select test
equipment that provides periodic calibration options
with measurement uncertainties towards warranted
specifications.
